Does Dixie even make bathroom cups anymore?
Seriously, I have been to nearly every drug store and grocery in the greater Gramercy area looking for these. If anyone, anyone finds them, please send them to my apartment along with the customary condolence letter.
I got enough of those children's party cups to tide me over, and the only ones they had were decorated with pictures of Timon and Pumbaa. So, if anything, I can safely brush my teeth twice a day and continually be reminded of the brilliance Nathan Lane and Ernie Sabella create when they're together.
Also? Mother.
It was announced today that Marin Mazzie is replacing Lauren Kennedy as the Lady of the Lake in Spamalot. And I'm excited! I don't know why...I know I mentioned I wanted to be one of those Sherie Rene-type alto belters, but I've really been getting into Mazzie lately. She has a beautiful voice. And does anyone doubt that she can do Python? Come on! She was freakin' Lalume! Of course she can handle comedy.
And, even better, her husband is going to be starring in Curtains right across the street. No wonder she's doing this! Yeah, yeah, I know, she probably deserves better. She was a freakin' three-time Tony nominee. But who cares? I know I don't. Because she is awesome. I know Lady of the Lake is kind of a lame character and goes against everything the Pythons ever stood for; also, the fact that Ramirez actually won the Tony for playing the only girl in a Monty Python Broadway musical pretty much proves that it's tougher to be the chick in an already-established comedy boys club, and way more deserving of an acting award than a retarded teenager, a neglected child, an evil supervilliainess, or Joanna Gleason. Well, finally, Mazzie gets to play a Tony-winning role...um, even though she doesn't have a Tony - yet. She's an inspiration. Someday, I hope to play Lili Vanessi in Kiss Me Kate.
